Julie Alexander+FollowWho should clean up if you didn’t eat?Imagine coming home after a long day of classes and work, only to get scolded for not cleaning up a dinner you didn’t even eat.

Jorge Figueroa+FollowWhy ASHS could change Alabama healthcareBig changes are coming for students aiming for healthcare careers—federal loan rules will soon make graduate degrees in nursing and allied health more expensive. That’s why the new Alabama School of Healthcare Sciences (ASHS) is such a game-changer. Opening in Demopolis in 2026, ASHS is tuition-free and starts prepping students for healthcare jobs as early as 9th grade.
